Moderation,

excellent man-well informed, sensi

A. London dispatch says that the
English army clothiDg factory at
Pimlico was working without inter
mission, night and day, to supply
clothing. Numerous shift* of people
were employed to expedite the work.
This extraordinary demand must
have required the consumption of a
good deal of cotton for army uses;
and, yet speculators tried to make
use of the war to lower the price of
cotton.!
The Cartersville Express of Friday
says that tho farmors make various
reports aboid the condition of tho
viheat crop of Bartow county—’some
declaring that the prospect is the
finest since tho war, and others com
plaining of spindling stalks, low
heading, and the ily. Tho opinions
about the grasshoppers are equally
variant In thatcounty- some beingal
armed about finding the young ones
iq great numbers, and othors not ap
pleheading any serious ißjury.
Here is the good report of the crops
in Washington county made by the
Saudersville Herald of Thursday:
The wheat crop fn this county is as
good as it has been any year since
the war. Oats are heading out rather
low—the result, wo suppose, of dry
weather, The corn crop oan claim a
larger acreage this year than usual,
and never presented a better pros
pect at this season of the year. Cot
ton is genertilly iit> —the stand good.
The crop prospect is excellent.
Here iea very different report of
the interview of that Ohio Editor
with the President—the editor who
boasted that he had cornered Hayes
on the Louisiana question. This re
port we get from a special to tho
New Orleans Democrat:
Cowles, of the Cleveland Leader , a
bloody-shirt Radical organ, yesterday
complained to Hayes that the South
ern policy had disorganized the Re
publican party in Ohio.
Hayes replied in substance that
that party in Ohio whose organiza
tion was destroyed because of justice
being done in Louisiana, or the
constitution obeyed in Washington,
needed some sort of siirgery.
Oowles came here as an emissary
of Ben Wade. He got very little
satisfaction.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTN FOR
THE SOUTH.
It having been asserted that the
President will, lb hi# first message to
Congress, rdcoramend tho Tokos Pa
fSßbsidy. and perhaps Govern
tpld tether internal improve
tS, as a,part of till Southern pol
und that Southern Congressmen
hf bo* caught by this bait, the
Cincinnati Enquirer expresses alarm,
andasks: "Where is to be the break
water to this threatened assault on
tho Treasury, in the name of appro
priations for internal improve
ments?"
Now wo do not believe that any
Southern Domocrats (at least any
considerable number) will compro
mise their principles for Federal sop
of this kind ; and further, we do not
believe that aid will be offered to the
Texas railroad in suoh a shape as to
make it acceptable to the Southern
poople generally. But we do
not think that objection to
this boon to the South ought
to be raised by a section that
has secured two l’acifio railroads by
the aid of the Federal Government.
The time for the Northern Democrats
to have made a manly stand against
internal improvements by the Fede
ral Government was when these
Northern Pacific roads were aided.
They should have opposed the enter
ing wedge, instead of waiting until
the proposition is made to widen tho
rift a little so as to let the South oome
in for a share. The precedent has
been set now, and those who urge
the Southern claim can fairly put it
upon the ground of just equivalents.
We do not urge it—wo want that un
derstood. We would be quite willing
for tho Government to stop with
what it has done—to extend not an
other dollar in cash or credit to works
of internal improvement anywhere.
But If this cannot be done—if the
Nortli and West insist on further
grabs for themsolves from the Treas
ury—wo are in favor of the South
making a grab too. The Enquirer
will please understand that our
Southern people are not now quite so
independent in matters of this kind
as wo used to be. “Reconstruction”
took out of us some of the starch
that formerly stiffened us in opposi
tion to receiving any share of the
bounties which we believed to be
wrong iu principle. Wo are now a
little inclined to the looser Yankee
policy of taking a hand in a scramble
which wo cannot prevent.
But tho Bouth has a claim upon
the Federai Government which has
no connection with internal improve
ment subsidies, and is not liable to
any of the objections urged against
Government bounties of that kind.
It is for the refunding of the unjust
and unconstitutional cotton taxes ex
torted from our people at a time
when they wore bankrupt in means,
their labor demoralized, and their
industries deranged by the war. If
the Federal Government will refund
to the Southern States the amounts
paid by their people in the shape of
these taxes, the act will be a vindica
tion rather than a violation of tbe
Constitution, and will do more for
the recuperation of the prosperity of
the people of these States than the
aiding of the Texas Pacific Railroad,
with its proposed connections and
termini. Here is a chance to do
justice to the South. Will President
Hayes lift himself so far above party
and section as to recommend a meas
ure of right before he proposes to
commit the Government again to a
system of internal improvements the
extent and end of which no man can
foresee?
HORN IS THE MOUTH.’
Everybody must remember the
glowing reports last year made of the
abundance and fine promise of the
corn crops of Georgia and Alabama.
Wo were told that a great many lo
calities would raise more corn than
they could consume, and the general
talk was that the price would not be
more than fifty cents per bushel.
The region round about and trading
with Montgomery, Ala., was one
of tho sections in which it was
said corn would be “a drug,”
and if we remember aright, it did
sell tbore in tho early part
of the winter as low as 35 cents per
bushel for a short time. But what
do wo hear now ? That Montgomery
is receiving Western corn by tho car
load, and that it sells by tho car load
at 77@78 cents a bushel—by the
smaller quantity probably at 85 cents.
Is it possible that some farmers of
that region,who last winter sold corn
at 35 or 40 cents a bushel, are now
buying it at 80 cents ? We think it
not only possible, but probable. In
Dadoville, Tallapoosa county, Ala.,
as wo learn from the Headlight, of
yesterday, oorn is selling at $125
cash, aud that is considered a better
corn and wheat than cotton county.
In Georgia tho price of oorn is now
equally high, even in localities in
which farmers were last year appre
hensive that they were raising too
much corn.
These facts ought to satisfy every
ono that there is not the least danger
of too much corn being raised in the
South. Tho only danger is too little
com and too much cotton.
Tbe New York Bulletin of Wednes
day publishes crop reports from a
number of counties in each of the
great wheat-growing States of the
Northwest, and summing npthe re
ports, concludes that the season is
opening with great promise of big
results for the Western farmers. It
says: “The prospects of the winter
wheat, and also the present condition
of the spring wheat, as reported
from the States of Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas, lowa,
and Missouri were never better. The
spring so far has been favorable for
ploughing and seeding; the ground
turns over in fine condition, aDdln
no State in the Northwest, so far as
heard from, have the farmers been
subjected to extremes of wet or dry
weather.”
(Tor the Timm.]
THE PLANETS OF OUE SYSTEM,
A Attn-ted toy their VelMllleH and At*
mamphtrt*.
Perhaps there is no subject that
engages the attention of the human
mind with more peculiar interest
than the contemplative survey of the
heavenly bodies. Mon have always
been found, since the earliest records,
that have devoted their lives, though
unrequited, to the study of this ab
struse science, and some, no doubt,
will yet give their timo and talents to
its still farther prosecution. Noth
ing, in our silent walks, when the
curtuin of night has fallen, thrills
with such a forvor as tho conscious
presence of bright orbs, sparkling
their light in dim perspective on our
physical presence, and telling, iu
language plain enough, that our
thoughts are in sympathy with them.
But what are the questions that rise
uppermost, as our eyes tiko in what
appears to be lights hung out in
space? Are their surfaces the same
as ours? Do their populations teem
with the same life and intelligence?
Or are they tho dismal abodes of
solitary wastes—deserts of never
ending combustion and volcanic
strife and energy, fanned forever into
flame by tho resistless energy of
their self-constituted laws? Sueh are
the anxious outpourings of mind,
when faculties fail to grapple success
fully with such phenomena.
It Is a common saying, when de
scribing the course of gravitation,
“that a bail thrown from a projectile
force would move forever in a
straight line, if mot by no resistance.”
If such were tho case, diverse motion
might be counted the resistance to
tho progress to such a ball, thus ex
plaining the motions of our planets
in their triple efforts. Homogeneity
of relative law3 on the surface of our
globe, And no parallels in those of
independent orbs, particularly where
thoir several motions vary iu velocity
extensively. Thus our interior plan
ets (Interior of the earth’s orbit) in
their axial and orbital motions, pass
a given point with more celerity than
the exterior planets of our system.
This has been attributed to their be
ing nearer tho sun, and receiving
more of his heat. This is an all-impor
tant point, and one upon which our
whole subject turns, and presuppo
ses in the latter an excess of repul
sive force or dispensatory action iu
excess. But we And that distance
makes no stint or surplus of light
and heat with our earth. Heat
diminishes as wo ascend the
highest mountains, until it seems
to disappear altogether, and we are
left to account for this (te us) strange
result, by the assimiiitating qualities
of the substance of Earth and Sun.
If this accountability be the true one,
the most distant planets partake
more largely of the Hun’s fructifying
processes than those nearest him,
while temperate zones exist on either
according to their depth of atmos
phere, although the greater magni
tude of the exterior planets would
suppose heat in proportion to size.
The great repulsive force of tho Sun
cannot fail to dispense heat material
in immeasurable quantities, and this
substance must find a cooling point
whero opposing principles of attrac
tien and repulsion again tiud their
orbit of motion the—inherited action
of the parent Sun, and free to accu
mulate and to conserve in future ef
forts. If this be so, no amount of
heat from tho Sun could ever bo in
such excess as to cause a general
conflagration. His attractive and
repulsive forces being equal, main
tain this apparent unity of action,
the ever sustaining power aud life
of the planetary systems.
With a view of showing tho differ
ence of velocity in tho orbital and
axial motions of the bodies in our
space, and dependent peculiarity of
results therefrom, there have been
selected four bodies whose motions
are the most varied in their revolu
tions :
Moon’s diameter 2.1G0 miles; axial
rotation passes a given pointfi4o miles
per hour; velocity in orbit passes a
given point 2,273 miles per hour.
Earth’s diameter 7,925 miles; axial
rotation passes a given point 1,000
miles per hour; velocity in orbit
passes a given point 85,538 miles per
hour.
Jupiter’s diameter 88.398 miles; ax
ial rotation passes a given point 26,-
517 miles per hour; velocity in orbit
passes a given point 28,744 miles per
hour.
Sun’s diameter 852,584 miles; axial
rotation passes a given point 4.2G3
miles per hour; velooity in orbit not
distinctly known in miles.
These figures represent the nearest
known of the actual motions of the
solid parts of the planets of our
system. They are near enough to
answer the peculiarities we intend
pointing out. In lookiDg over the
figures that show the different velo
cities of these four bodies, we can
not but express our astonishment at
the varied, systematic action that
must ensuo. The Moon is slow—so
muob so there is scarcely any conser
vation of forces whatever but a con
stant tendency to combustion. Her
surface and interior denote the same
excesses of consolidating forces,with
scarcely any modification. She has
about ouo-fourth the velocity of our
earth’s axial rotation per hour, and
one-tenth of the orbital for the same
length of time—action hardly suffi
cient for any of the peculiarities for
which our earth is known. Her shal
low depth of atmosphere—twenty
five or thirty miles—tallies with her
scanty diameter, affording scarcely
any of the Sun’s influence, that gives
life and vitality on our earth. Her
frigid air, with no accompanying ele
ments—rain, moisture, snow, ice;
the seasons, with their different pro
ductions—
Ko vi*aal skit'*, nor summer'* green;
Kg blooming rote distils, unseen.
Its frogtsoe on that scanty air.
But growth* that lead to fell despair.
Herrotßtivo instincts, when con
trasted with tIiOMO of the earth, show
suoh Varied results, as to make one
doubt whether their relative sources
of origination are the same or not.
The earth's sharp spiral motion,
would seem to act In a way to secure
whatever of effects might be thrown
Into her companionship, on her or
bital journey, acting upon her sur
roundings in a flange-like manner,
on the sun’s sustaining heat, and hold
ing them for those genial purposes
described, reminding us of a stupen
duous vitality and suggestive intelli
gence that employs to his own pur
poses whatever of use ho may neod,
accumulating his large stotes of such
forces as fail in his way for a future
use.
Wk direct attention to an article
which we copy from the Cartersville
Express, on tho subject of tho pay
ment of $50,000 to the lawyers who
prepresenfed tho State, in some
capacity, in its claim for money
overpaid to tho Government at
Washington on account of the State
Road, We had intended to say some
thing ourselves on this matter, but
tho views of the Express come so
opportunely and suited us so well
that we concluded to copy them, with
an approval of their tone and the
spirit that prompted them.
A Chattanooga paper mentions the
catch of two small shad in tho Ten
nessee river near that city. They
were evidently two of the lot deposit
ed there last year by the Government
agent. The fact is interesting be
cause it goes t© show the success! of
the experiment, and that our South
ern rivers emptying into tho Gulf
can be stocked with shad.
TUat (loud Haul for GeorslH.
from UieCwterviUe£ii>ia.]
We publish on the first page of the
Express tnis week the Atlnuta Con
stitution's account of “A big haul for
Georgia,” detuiling how $199,000 wus
secured from tho Federal Govern
ment to the credit of this (State. The
amount is an overcharge for rolling
stock on the Western & Atlantic
railroad purchased by the State from
the United States Government im
mediately after the war. The full
statement referred to will be found
iu our paper as directed. The secur
ing of the $199,000 was all right, but
the manner iu which it was secured,
and the enormous percentage paid to
certain panics for the alleged securo
ment of it, is what is puzzling the
brains of not a few people. It is
uot understood how that Georgia,
being represented In Congress by
two Senators and nine Representa
tives, should be under the necessity
of employing outside parties or lob
byists to effect the adjustment of the
claim. Nor is it understood how
these agents could be rightfully al
lowed twenty-tive per cent,, of tue
whole amount for what our Congress
men are |>aid to attend to. Tue bill
authorizing tho payment of the
claim was passed in both Houses of
Congress tue 2d of March last, and it
seems to us that it was oaly uecessa
ry for the Governor of Georgia to call
[or the money aud receipt for it.
there was but little discussion in
dulged in tbe consideration of the
bill iu either house, but it was passed
with little difficulty. Senator Goi
dou aud Mr. Gapdier each stated tue
charcter of the claim In their places
respectively, which seems to us to
nave been all that was necessary to
be done.
Now tho question is, What did
these outside parties do to secure this
just claim ? Were they attorneys or
lobbyists ? They were not attorneys,
because Congress is uot a court. Wus
it for the exercise of superior influ
ence over that of our Congressmen
that secured the action of Congress ?
If that be so, then it is not very com
plimentary to our Congressmen. But
it is said that Gov. Smith made the
contract with these gentlemen to
push the claim before Congress, of
course as lobbyists, for which he
agreed to pay 25 per cent, of the
claim for their services, which
amounts to s49,7so—twice as much us
the large aud populous county of
Bartow pays iu taxes aunually.
Was it not Governor Smith’s busi
ness to arrange all the necessary
papers in the case and forward them
to our members of Congress whose
sworn duty it was to look to the in
terests of Georgia In tne matter?
What, did these gentlemen do that
our Congressmen could not havo
done and did not do? Congress had
a precedent covering the whole
ground of settlement in the adjust
ment of exactly tbe same thing in
connection with Tennessee roads,
with the advantage of the argument
in favor of Georgia in that she had
promptly met the demands of the
Federal government in tho payment
for the rolling stock furnished her
road. With this precedent staring
them iu the face the members of
Congress could not have refused the
claim under a proper presentation of
the ease. The question is, we repeat,
what did these feed gentlemen do
to secure the passage of the
bill allowing the payment of the
claim? And why did not Governor
Sonfh through his attorney-general
und secreiaries prepare the necessary
papers and place them in the hands
of our Congressmen; and liaviug
done so why could they not have ac
complished all that was accomplish
ed by gentlemen but little known
in Congress?
We ask these questions with all
due respect and out of no predjudice
to any one. The enquires are upon
the lips of thousands of the people,
and they want to know, and they
have a right to know in what manner
and for what purpose $49,750 of the
State’s money is paid out. It is au
explanation that must be made. It
is due to the people and it is due to
our Congressmen that it should be
known just exaotiy how this matter
stands. It may all be right, but it is
desired just to know how it is right.
Reduce the Army and Office-Holders.
Brooklyn Eagle : There are 27,000
men in the regular army; reduce
them to 10,000. There are 102,000
office-holders of all kinds. Grant’s
immense number of office-holders
has not been diminished; reduce
them to 30,000. There will even then
be plenty of soldiers to spare to
amuse the Indians. There will even
then be plentiy of offioe-holders to
run the Government. The expenses
of the Government will be reduced
quite $80,000,000 by these civil service
reforms, and the country will have
civil service reform facts to talk
about, as well as civil reform inter
views and civil service reform circu
lars aud civil service reform cate
chisms. To the pleasant fluency of
the water-wheel, Mr. Hayes undoubt
